Abstract:This paper studies the behavior of positive solutions of the recursive equation
$displaystyle y_n=A+left(frac{y_{n-k}}{y_{n-m}}right)^p,quad n=0,1,2,ldots,$      

with $ y_{-s},y_{-s+1}, ldots, y_{-1} in (0, infty)$ and $ k,m in {1,2,3,4,ldots}$, where $ s=max{k,m}$. We prove that if $ mathrm{gcd}(k,m) = 1$, and $ pleq min{1,(A+1)/2}$, then $ y_n$ tends to $ A+1$. This complements several results in the recent literature, including the main result in K. S.  Berenhaut, J. D. Foley and S. Stevic, The global attractivity of the rational difference equation $ y_{n}=1+frac{y_{n-k}}{y_{n-m}}$, Proc. Amer. Math. Soc., 135 (2007) 1133-1140.

Keywords:Rational difference equation   stability.
